🇨🇦 Ottawa wants 5 percent NATO swagger with 0 percent honesty

The funniest part is the panic over trust, not spending. Mark Carney can promise NATO the moon because Ottawa has hidden the bill from Canadians. Britain just gave the demo version: Keir Starmer’s crowd talked tough on rearmament, then their own defence secretary quit when the math turned into political fiction. Now Canada is supposed to glide toward NATO’s 5 percent target by 2035 while the public gets vibes, slogans, and no real financing plan, as reported.

This is the Trudeau-era hangover with a Carney accent: years of debt, hollowed-out forces, performative foreign policy, and now a demand for fiscal faith from people who never tell the truth up front. The article admits Carney has more room to borrow. Great, so the plan is more debt to satisfy alliance optics while Canada’s borders, social cohesion, and basic state capacity keep rotting at home. Globalist prestige first, national interest later. Ottawa never runs out of money for international posturing, only for Canadians.
